Engineering
Lifts first, then slidesThe leaf rises clear of the sill before it travels, so the door moves with light effort under a heavy glass panel, and it seats back down onto the sill when it closes.
Glass front, thin frameFull-height clear leaves in a slim aluminium mullion frame leave the opening almost all glass, which suits walls that are built around a wide view.
6063-T5 primary aluminiumThe door range is extruded in 6063-T5 primary aluminium, the grade the catalogue names across the window and door lines and selects for toughness, strength and resistance to cracking.
A wide clear openingBecause the leaf slides rather than swings, the full width of the frame clears in one movement, and the floor on both sides of the opening stays usable.
What Australian spec writers check
The Australian regime is built on testing, not on brand claims. AS/NZS 1170.2 sets the regional wind-load classification, AS 2047 defines how window and door assemblies are tested against wind load, and AS 1288 classifies the glazing itself. A cyclone-rated specification must therefore state the zone class, the tested configuration and the glazing classification for the exact module size.
Adam Alux does not hold AS 2047 test certificates. Engineering against your zone and module schedule is confirmed at quotation, and a finished test window or door can be produced before the production run.
Shipping to Australia
Modules travel to the major Australian ports in export-standard containers, packed upright with edge protection. The container count for your schedule depends on frame depth and glass build-up, so the loading plan comes with the quotation.
Transit and port handling are confirmed per shipment. For coastal projects, the fluorocarbon and anodised finish lines are the standard shortlist against salt-air exposure.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Do your aluminium windows and doors ship to Australia?
Yes. Modules ship to the major Australian ports in export-standard containers, with the loading plan for your schedule included in the quotation.
How do you handle cyclone zone specifications?
The zone class and the module schedule drive the specification. Engineering and glazing classification are confirmed at quotation against the AS 2047 and AS 1288 requirements, with a test unit available before production.
What is the lift and slide door?
It is a large-format sliding door in the Adam Alux range: the leaf lifts off the sill, travels sideways on the head track and settles back down to close, shown in the catalogue as a two-leaf glass front onto a sea view.
How is it different from a plain slider?
A plain slider drags its full weight along the track. The lift and slide system raises the leaf clear of the sill first, so it travels with light effort, then seats back down onto the sill when it closes.
